Minor touched 96 mph with his fastball and sat at 93 mph in his first extended spring outing Tuesday, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is on the 60-day DL, so he won't be ready to return until mid-to-late May at the earliest. That said, the Royals have succeeded in getting Kris Medlen back to being an effective starter after two Tommy John surgeries, so Minor could be the team's latest reclamation project. He could be worth a stash in AL-only leagues with DL spots, otherwise he's a pitcher to keep an eye on now that his stuff appears to be back to its former levels.
